If you're a Target shopper

gidgetgh — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:50:33 GMT

Just passing this info on.

This Sunday only, Target is selling their gift cards for a 10% discount. Maximum purchase is $300 (cost would be $270).

Only Target gift cards are on sale. It doesn't apply to other retailers gift cards, sold at Target.

Remember the few years that QVC did a one day offer for a discounted QVC gift card? That was terrific. I wish they'd do it again.

In any case, I'll be taking advantage of the Target deal. It's a good deal. I shop at Target all the time. I'll take that free money.

Thank you @gidgetgh. I love Target! [Unfortunately] there's one attached to the building complex where my office building is located. A lot of us power walk there a couple of times a day to counter sitting at our desks all day -- and to check out what's new.

I always give a wrapped gift at Christmas but I also like to tuck in a gift card as well.

I'll check it out!

Kind of related....

I went to Target this morning to use the 20% off total sale coupon that I got by shopping there on Black Friday.

I did a stock up trip. They had specials on Charmin and Bounty that gave you back gift cards with purchase so I took advantage of those. Bought hot chocolate and coffee for my husband, batteries, cosmetic sponges, tape, Dixie Cups, stuff like that.

My total came to over $200 (yikes!).

Then I used my 20% off coupon and saved just under $50 with that.

Then I used my Target debit card and saved an additional $9.50.

Then, because I’d done the Bounty and Charmin deal, they gave me two $10 Target gift cards.

With all that and sale savings, my receipt shows that I saved $86 on today’s trip. I was thrilled as everything I bought are things we use.

I'm not the biggest Target shopper in the world but just a little story as many people think Walmart is cheaper.

I was looking for a particular toy and was out shopping Monday. I happened to be in WM and the toy was $19.97. For the heck of it, I check the Target site to see if they had it. With the 15% off they were doing for Cyber Monday and my 5% Red Card savings, I ordered the toy from Target for a total of $10.63. Half of what I would have paid at WM after tax.

It pays to do a quick price check. I had also checked Amazon. It was more money there as well.

I agree. You save pennies at WalMart over Target. Factor in cartwheel and Target red card and that equals me not shopping at WM.

@scatcat, they really need to combine Cartwheel with on-line shopping.

I had to go into Target even after ordering the toy because they were doing 30% off kids clothes with Cartwheel but you can't use Cartwheel on-line. That's my only beef.

Not much of a Target shopper, but when I do go into a Target store . . . I buy a lot! Don't have a red card. Have no clue what you are talking about - what is a cartwheel? TIA.

I always thought Walmart was cheaper than Target. I use Walmart's Savings Catcher, which is where you enter a number from your Walmart receipt and it does price matches on some of the items with area stores. They issue you a Walmart credit for the difference. I started noticing that Target and Kroger were almost always cheaper on the items that I buy. I don't like Cartwheel. I wish they just had a card to scan like the grocery stores do. I do have a Red Card.

I've started shopping at Target much more often and will go on Sunday and probably buy a $100 gift card for myself.

Target offers this deal every year for one day only, I always keep my eye out for it, I am sure to receive an email on Sunday morning.

I agree. I actually have a couple beefs regarding Target. I spend a lot of money there. A lot.

I must say getting free shipping with the Red Card is a huge plus

It’s a Target app that gives you additional savings (I’ve seen 5-50%) off certain items. The items change often. Then you can get an additional 5% off your bill if you have a red card.

Cartwheel can be a little time consuming. I’ve saved over $1000. I hate to think about how much I’ve spent to accumulate that

I got a 15% off and free shipping deal from Target on Cyber Monday on an item by Melissa & Doug that was on Evine and it was a better deal. Hooary for Target and its free shipping!
